During unperturbedbipedalstanding,ithaspreviouslybeenobservedthat,fortaskvariablessuchasthewhole-bodycenterof mass(CoM),TEVexceedsTRVinamplitude.However,selectivecontrol(andcorrection)ofTRVshouldalsoleadtodifferent temporal characteristics, with TEV exhibiting higher temporal persistence compared to TRV. The present study was specificallydesignedtotestthisprediction.Kinematicsofprolongedquietstanding(5minutes)wasmeasuredinfourteen healthy young participants, with eyes closed. Using the uncontrolled manifold analysis, postural variability in six sagittal jointangleswasdecomposedintoTEVandTRVwithrespecttofourtaskvariables:(1)centerofmass(CoM)position,(2) head position, (3) trunk orientation and (4) head orientation. Persistence of fluctuations within the two variability components was quantified by the time-lagged auto-correlation, with eight time lags between 1 and 128seconds.
